Tag Archives: Kits

All IR starter Kits are ‘in the air’ and on their way around the world, including the ones requested this week.

We have completed updating the Getting started guide and have installed a website CMS, discussion forum & bug tracking system on our website. However, we don’t plan to expose anything on our website just yet.

We will continue to work through our task list for the remainder of this week.

We posted another update a couple of days ago covering many of these points, but it seems to have evaporated (Maybe I forgot to hit the ‘Post’ button).

We know some of the kits have arrived locally in Ireland. However, one backer reported that the packaging was ‘compromised’ but that the components were OK. He sent us some photos & we will now update packaging on all future kit shipments. If any backer experiences a problem with the packaging, email us and we will sort it out. We plan to post the next batch of kits over the weekend or early next week.

On the Raspberry Pi front we have learned some differences compared to Arduino. For what we are doing with AnalysIR, Arduino appears superior, which was initially surprising considering the 16MHz vs 700Mhz CPU speed. But apparently, it’s because Arduino is dedicated exclusively to IO & RPi is a linux based OS doing lots of other things simultaneously. I believe RPi may perform better with kernel patches or over-clocking, but we don’t want to go there yet.

Yesterday we got the measurement of IR modulation frequency working on RPi using GPIO. This may be a world first for both Arduino & RPi. The only downside is that we cannot decode the signal & measure the modulation frequency simultaneously on the RPi, which we can on the Arduino. So for now, we will just provide a command line facility on RPi for measuring modulation Frequency. We have also written a script to take the raw output from LIRC on the RPi and convert it to AnalysIR format via LAN, which means we can also use LIRC as a real-time recording mechanism on RPi. (In theory, it should be easy to extend this to every other Linux platform with LIRC installed) One bonus with the RPi is that we can already decode & analyse IR signals over the LAN, a feature which the Yún will also provide via WiFi. We also read the blog post on the upcoming Arduino Yún release and can’t wait to get AnalysIR running on it…… The Yún should work out of the box, via serialUSB as it also has a Leonardo on-board and we will have to write up some small script to enable the WiFi part (Oct+ time-frame for WiFi).

Regarding our planned roll-out (circa 9th Sep), we plan to stick with a 2 phase approach as outlined on the main campaign page. If there are additional slots available for the initial phase we will contact backers directly. The reason is to avoid wasting time for 100+ people with a new release.

I would like to finish off by thanking you all for supporting AnalysIR.

AnalysIR decodes over 75 of the most common base CIR protocols formats, including TVs, STBs, Air Conditioners & other variants/devices, and boasts a comprehensive range of features to help you as a Maker or Professional. This translates into many 10,000s of actual devices. It also analyzes 99.9%+ of all infrared remote control signals.

Congratulations for your work, specially for the detailed info provided to the users in their first steps. I know AnalysIR from Hackaday. I was looking for a good and not so much difficult way to study IR technology.

Arduino User, Spain

I have connected a TSOP1738 to my Arduino UNO and successfully sampled signals from a Hauppauge remote control…….It works! {Using VirtualBox VM on OSX} ….. Thank you very much for the fast support.

MAC VM User, Germany

You guys are amazing!!Thank you!

AnalysIR User, GA USA

Just to say that i am very happy with the program. I Can decode a Toshiba aircon and transmit via arduino.

Arduino User, Denmark

That is an awesome auto-generation tool (took all of the hard work away!) Got it going now and controlling my heat pump from the house automation system.

Arduino User, UK

I do like the new Batch Export feature. It allowed me to export a bunch of signals from another NEC protocol remote {directly} to an IRremote sketch.

Arduino IRremote User, CT USA

I received the package with the LearnIR and the single Vishay LED, many thanks for the quick service. Within an hour or so I had the LearnIR working, and controlling my AC unit!

LearnIR User, Australia

Thanks, it is working! With the correct parameters now I can rework the code for my needs. AnalysIR is a great piece of SW and the support by you guys is exceptional!

ESP8266 User, Sweden

I’m very happy your software works fine and I found the IR protocol of my Optik IPTV remote control, it’s RCMM, this protocol is new for me…. ….Thank you very much, AnalysIR will be a good tool for my next small robot project.

USB IR Toy User, QC Canada

I just wanted to say what an awesome program and customer service this has been for me. Your program saved me hours of frustration by helping to identify a firmware issue of my control system, as well as adding commands from captured remotes. You guys rock!

USB IR Toy User, Tx USA

Thanks for very nice sw & hw and your support 🙂I´m sure this gear will {also} help me in other future projects.

ESP8266 User, Sweden

I just wanted to comment that you have the best documentation of any program I have purchased, and I have quite a few of them. They are so detailed.

AnalysIR User, Canada

Thanks for your World Class – customer support.

Arduino User, Poland

What can I say? I’m not a programmer, I’m skilled in hardware, but with AnalysIR software and 2/3 hours, my Samsung AR9000 series AC system is now controlled by Arduino!!! Also tested NodeMCU to acquire the signal and also in this case all works very well! …..Thanks, thanks, thanks!!! A fantastic software!

Arduino User, Italy

…the IR is Hitachi184_264_296AC. right out of the box…..What a great piece of software.

ESP8266 User - UK

I wish I would have had this program when I designed an RC6 remote control years ago.

User, CA USA

Hello, your program is simply fantastic !! I lost whole days trying to decode my remote control for my Mitsubishi heat pump. With your program {AnalysIR} without reading various tutorials I have decoded everything in a moment, I have saved in raw LIRC {format}. I tried and everything worked the first time. ….Congratulations again for your work !!

AnalysIR User, Italy

I am using it{AnalysIR} with an IR Toy V2. Already helped me understand a home theater problem I was having.Thanks

USB IR Toy User, NJ USA

In a few minutes I was able to record & replay Hitachi RAF/RAK AC signals…

IR Toy User, France

I think you are the only company in the world that sell equipment like this.

Thank-you very much for your speedy reply. The installation … into Windows 7 went very smoothly as did the firmware into an Arduino Uno. VERY nice installation documentation.First off, let me say WOW. I am most impressed with your product. … AnalysIR is the missing link I was looking for.

Hi, I want to thank you now I can record data IR from my sharp Inverter Air conditioner remote….

Arduino User, Indonesia

… I’ve got an old toy remote that’s failing and I wanted to capture the codes while it still mostly works. I’m also doing some animatronics for haunted houses and escape rooms and using a number of FurReal Friends toys that have IR controls …

LearnIR User, VA USA

I just wanted to say that AnalysIR rules as well as it’s documentation and the Arduino-firmware! A very nice piece of high quality engineering! Keep up the good work!! 🙂
